23282,Add shortcodes for inline HTML5 audio / video,wonderboymusic,,"WordPress supports the 'audio' and 'video' post formats, however WordPress has no native ability to play audio or video. 

I have been using and following MedaElement.js for a while. It is, in my opinion, the most cross-browser compatible and extensible HTML5 solution out there. https://github.com/johndyer/mediaelement

in a nutshell:

  A complete HTML/CSS audio/video player built on top MediaElement.js and jQuery. Many great HTML5 players have a completely separate Flash UI in fallback mode, but MediaElementPlayer.js uses the same HTML/CSS for all players.

Compatibility?

  Flash ~~Fallback~~forward

  Instead of offering an HTML5 player to modern browsers and a totally separate Flash player to older browsers, MediaElement.js upgrades them with custom Flash and Silverlight plugins that mimic the HTML5 MediaElement API.

  Magic happens, and then IE6-8 supports <video> and <audio>, Firefox and Opera support h.264, and Safari and IE9 support WebM (*if Adobe makes good on promises to support VP8 in Flash).

My patch makes 2 new shortcodes `[audio]` and `[video]`, both will pull the first attached mp3 (for audio) or mp4 (for video) attached to the post. If the `src` attribute is passed, the shortcode doesn't check for an attachment.

The patch is proof of concept and could (maybe?) use some more features. I will attach a sample mp3 and mp4 to the ticket to use for testing.

UPDATE: mp3 and mp4 files are too big to upload to Trac*",feature request,closed,normal,3.6,Media,trunk,normal,fixed,,info@… sabreuse rachelbaker johnbillion simon@… micahwave DrewAPicture dh-shredder code@… beau@… portfola gregory@… imtiedup@… Ken@… philip@… xoodrew@… pippin@… kwight@… forumi@…
